Weekend builds, experiments, and things I tinker with — swipe through

  • Chris 2.0

    Live

    2026

    A personal AI brand page: pick a persona (Casual, Professional, Tech, or Flirty) and chat with an AI version of me. Multi-persona knowledge, entity-graph memory, and a Telegram bot, with an Operator mode for admin.

  • Enjin City

    Live

    2026

    A walkable 3D WebGL gallery, built in a weekend. It preserves my old NFT Enterprise collection (many of its NFTs now lost) and renders other collections (not mine) as explorable buildings across the city. A browsable museum of NFT art.

  • Finger Beat

    Live

    2026

    Measures your heart rate and an HRV estimate straight from your phone camera (PPG), entirely on-device, with real signal processing under the hood. The solo, duel, and tournament game modes are just a fun public layer on top, underneath it's research I did for OneHealth into low-cost health-data capture, wrapped in something playful. iPhone-optimised.

  • Resonara

    Private

    Ongoing

    A multisensory state-design studio: sound, rhythm, body vibration (Woojer haptics), breath, and light turned into designable, measurable sessions, built on a strict honesty model that keeps the measurable, the hypothesised, and the traditional clearly apart and never dresses up the unproven as fact.

  • Kinetara

    Private

    Ongoing

    A headless crypto market signal engine — no interface, just a cron and APIs. It scores live perpetual-futures data each hour and broadcasts a long, short, or stay-silent call to Telegram.

  • Falk

    Experiment

    Ongoing

    An AI authorship engine for entire literary universes: world-building, characters, lore, and chapters, writing internally consistent multi-book trilogies. A fun benchmark for how far AI world-building can go.

  • CTZ Records

    Live

    Playing around

    A published-but-just-for-fun music side-quest. The songs are AI-generated, but I direct the composition and do the sound engineering, no raw AI output ever ships, every release is properly mastered through a self-built pipeline (around 50 tracks, including a full Christmas album). Producing good songs is the easy part; the music industry is the impossible part, so this stays a playground, not a career.

  • NFT Tipper Bot

    Discontinued

    2023-2025

    A Telegram-based NFT distribution system on Enjin that processed 100k+ on-chain transactions in production. Its scaling limits are what pushed me toward non-custodial infrastructure.

  • Compliance Controls

    • ▹HIPAA / GDPR-style posture: encryption in transit & at rest, RLS, append-only audit logs
    • ▹Zero-retention model APIs; no training on user data
    • ▹BAA / DPA posture with every processor

  • Residency & Data Quality

    • ▹In-region deployment: data residency as a deploy choice, not a rewrite
    • ▹Quality gating: validated measurements only, never invented, always provenance-tagged

Security & Cryptography

  • Applied Cryptography

    • ▹Non-custodial key management & device-bound encryption
    • ▹Cross-chain signing and recovery flows kept fully client-side
    • ▹Open-core cryptographic core, published under AGPL

  • Auth & Access

    • ▹SIWE-style signature sign-in with rotating httpOnly sessions
    • ▹Row Level Security (RLS) and least-privilege data boundaries
    • ▹Separation of access, identity, ownership, and recovery

  • Hardening

    • ▹API security, rate limiting, and abuse-resistant routes
    • ▹Audit / provenance trails on every state transition

  • Security Auditing & Review

    • ▹Autonomous, invariant-directed AI audit pipeline: invariant-by-invariant review of critical code
    • ▹Cross-ecosystem coverage: EVM, Solana, Move, Cosmos, Substrate, Bitcoin, ZK circuits, and web2 access-control
    • ▹Detection-only, human-triaged review against 100+ vulnerability classes, never exploits
